Roosevelt Middle School, San Francisco

Roosevelt Middle School, San FranciscoIn 1928 San Francisco architects, Miller and Pflueger, won the bid to bid a new building for the Roosevelt Junior High School.

They choose to build the school using brick, a rare choice after the 1906 earthquake, and were probably influenced by the Dutch Expressionist buildings and the Dutch Pavilion at the 1925 Paris Exposition.

The building opened in August 1930 and as the Roosevelt Middle School is still used for education today.
